Editing Planning

     In order for the film to look complete and semi-professional we need to edit it. This is one of the most crucial aspects of the entire project so I made sure to plan how we will edit the film.

    In the first scene where the camera is going around the main character on the couch we will have approximately four to seven different cuts throughout the conversation. We also have to merge this scene with the next one which is when he runs up the stairs. We plan to use eerie or fast-paced music when he is running up the stairs to make the scene more intense. 

    The scene where the protagonist hides in the room is cut into three parts: the opening and slamming of the door, him walking to the place he will hide, and the actual hiding itself. We plan to use a mid-shot, a low-angle shot, and a close up throughout this sequence to make the viewer more engaged in the film. 

    The most difficult part to edit will be the killing scene. I think for this part of the film when the killer jumps we use a grayish-whitish flash to not show the actual jumping of the killer since it would not look good. The flash will fit in to the horror aspect of the film. 

    We will definitely be using a plethora of cuts throughout the film since we have a lot of takes. We also plan to change the lighting of every scene to a dark lighting so it further fits the horror aspect. Using non-diegetic sound is something else that we plan to implement, especially in the revealing of the killer. 

    This is all I have for the editing as of now but this process will surely be explained in much more detail in the future.
